Information about San Francisco - San Francisco travel guide - Go Guides

This San Francisco information page contains all the essentials to help you prepare for your trip to the Golden City. We’ve compiled basic travel info, such as weather, seasons, phone numbers, airport information, and ways to reach your hotel.

Getting around San Francisco can be a little confusing at first, due to its complex cross-grid system and lack of left-turn lanes on the key city streets. Once you get the hang of it, driving is an easy way to get around, but the city’s reliable bus system is just as smooth. San Francisco is a great walking city, with a mix of architectural styles to gaze at, stores to stop at, and unbeatable views at the top of steep hills.
